A chapter in The People Business, 2005, pp 98-100 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We all make serious selection mistakes. The divorce statistics alone are testimony to the fact that despite the investment of considerable time, effort, and money, we get it wrong. We select where we should reject and vice versa. Of course we know only about the former and not the latter.
